ACT I
Scene 1
The curtain opens. There is a street sinking in black tar. Ruined and collapsing houses are slowly falling through the ground. in a window, Something with large eyes watches You. They know you and they drown in your guilt. Street signs bent and being pulled into the floor by writhing black mass. There is a cacophony of moans by shapeless figures as they suffocate in the tar. Their bodies assaulted by darkness. The black vileness is spilling off the stage and into the audience. The tar his hot and boiling. The audience will be used as sacrifice. Tar will pour from the ceiling until the screams quiet. Once the whole stage begins to sink, a train will appear on stage. Out of the train four horses will emerge. The first is a white horse, then comes a red horse, after that a black horse, but the last horse is not pale but a purple alicorn. The first three sink quickly into the thick black ooze. Gone before they ever existed. The Alicorn sloshes through the tar to upstage and ignores the blackness burning her flesh.
Wainamoinen
I have returned from the great city of Canter where I have returned from my great shopping quest!
A book floats above her
Behold! Knowledge!
Six lumps rise from the tar.
otso
I'm so happy you are back, ------.
Pellervo
You left so suddenly, I thought we had a get together today?
ukko
Yeah, what the hay, ------!
menninkäinen
Oh! Oh! Oh! We should go to that new restuarant. It looks super yummy!
Ilmarinen
Really Darling, You should have told me you were going somewhere. I would have joined you.
Wainamoinen
It was last minute. There was a book store with a book that I had to have. The book is sAiD tO Be mAgIc.
MAGGOTS BEGIN TO SQUIRM OUT OF THE ALICORN'S SKIN. YOU WATCH AS THEY SLOWLY DIG HOLES IN THE FLESH. THICK PUS BEGIN TO LEAK OUT FROM THEM CARRYING THE SQUIRMING NEWBORNS INTO THE BLACKNESS DOWN BELOW. THEY EAT MORE AND MORE UNTIL THEY BURST AND SCATTER SICKNESS THE BODY SHOOK WITH MOVEMENT WITH RYTHYM WITH HUNGER. THE FACE LOCKED INTO A SOUNDLESS SCREAM AND YOU WATCH AND WATCH AND WATCH AND READ AND READ AND READ. AND IT KEEPS ON HAPPENING
BECAUSE YOU KEEP ON READING: STOP THIS STOP THIS STOP THIS STOP THIs

Out of the cosmic egg became a thing with ninety nine names

Shout the words out of wise vedic and under apple trees

Devout those be to such things, as they try to understand

And be punished with confused language and spread to corners of four.
You cut one head out comes two cut off one head out comes two you cut off one head out comes two you cut off one head and out comes to you cut off one head and out comes two bite the tail and bite the tale and bite the tail

Don’t you see? Don’t you know?
KULLERVO: they deserve what they got, for what they have done, for making me this way for making me alone
WAINAMOINEN: Books are like people. People are like books. Interpret them however you like. All magic is only magic until you get to know it better.
KULLERVO: I don’t understand, أنا لا أفهم Nuk e kuptoj не разумею 我不明白 مجھے نہیں سمجھتا ฉันไม่เข้าใจ
WAINAMOINEN: Making friends is like reading books.Reading books is like making friends. It takes work and time but an understanding will eventually be reached. Hopefully a friendship is born
KULLERVO: I know what you are trying to do.
WAINAMOINEN: the unknown can be a scary place. There are scary places in the unknown. Sometimes getting out of your comfort zone can be hard. If you do however, think of all the possibilities open to you.
KULLERVO: I command you to stop! As your god I command you to stop!
WAINAMOINEN: If Gods are the writers of stories and mortals are the characters. If mortals are the characters in stories and Gods are the writers. What does that really mean? No one can open themselves up and read ahead to the end. Only thing you can do is live your life try to make your story something you think would be worth reading.
Wainamoinen stepped off the train. Harry Potter stepped off the train. Bella Swan stepped off the train. Optimas Prime stepped off the train. The Scarlet Pimpernel stepped off the train. Tony Stark stepped off the train. Jesus Christ stepped off the train. Twilight Sparkle stepped off the train. Josef Svek stepped off the train. Helga Pataki stepped off the train. Akira Fudou stepped off the train. Sherlock Holmes stepped off the train. Chum Chum stepped off the train. Shinji Ikari Stepped off the train. Peter Rabbit stepped off the train. Rishabhanatha stepped off the train.
RISHABHANATHA: It might take a bit to learn a new language. Languages take a bit to learn. Just like people they take effort. To talk to someone it requires two people two people to converse.
SIDHARTHA: If you can jump out of my palm I will let you go. Sounds good? But if you cannot do this, you must stop immediately. Sounds good?
MARA: I will stop after these two questions. Just two more questions and I will stop. Why am I here? What do you want?
KALEVIPOEG: People like you. People will read me if you are here. I want to be the story I want to be. I want to be enjoyed by being myself.
You can be that. You can be that and you don’t need me. We are all but decorations upon the Christmas tree. There are those who love you, can’t you see. They love you for you and me for me. You can be some much more if you let yourself be free. No matter what you will always be a friend and I will never forget thee.

Swallowing all the land and every tree.
Purple and green his scales were as pretty as can be.
He saw a pit, stage sinking slowly down
The dead were stiff as they drown
And he was only in his second best night gown
The one with the frilly spots that made him look like a clown
The Ouroboros took the entire stage into his mouth. “I got you! You’re safe now.” He said. He dived down deep into the pit and headed for the center. Don’t worry Twi, I know the way to our friends” Then the serpent was gone.

All that was left for now was me.

And you.
“All stories must end sooner or later I guess. It isn’t right now but I can feel it in my guts. If I had guts. I don’t know what will happen and neither do you. There is only one thing to do. And that’s to see this through.” I said.
I stare deeply in your eyes and hope I made the right choice. I didn’t blink once not even after the curtain fell.
